Please note that this adds the "abmc" feature to the resctrl *filesystem* that supports more architectures than just AMD. Calling the resctrl filesystem feature "abmc" means that (a) AMD needs to be ok with other architectures calling their features that are similar-but-maybe-not-identical-to-AMD-ABMC "abmc", or (b) this needs a new generic name. > b.

For example, if switching from "legacy" to abmc ... if there are fewer than "num counters" monitor groups, will they get counters assigned dynamically? What happens to feature specific resctrl files? What happens to the counters themselves, are they reset? What else happens during this switch? > > h. Check the bandwidth configuration for the group.
